How Long?

[COYW]

We had the highest turnover in the league in the 2012/13 season, according to some 'made-up bollocks' in The Guardian. We also had the highest wage bill in the league that season:

Bolton Wanderers

Ownership

Owned by the Isle of Man businessman Edwin Davies via Fildraw private trust company, registered in Bermuda.

Turnover £35m

Highest in the league

Wage bill £37.4m

Highest in the league

Wage as a proportion of turnover 107%

Directors’ pay

£792,000 paid to 6 directors; £408,000 the highest

Loss before tax £50.6m

Net debt £163.8m

Interest payable £7.5m

Accounts for the year to 31 May 2013

State they’re in

Spectacular £50.6m loss in the first season after relegation, despite parachute payments. Bolton’s 1997 move to the Reebok stadium was accompanied by building a hotel and plans for diverse earnings which would subsidise the club to compete above its natural level. Premier League wages then soared, though, and Bolton have made massive losses. They are supported by Edwin Davies, the kettle element manufacturer whose loans were up to a staggering £151m. Davies charged £7m interest and other fees in 2012-13, but now charges no interest

nowt to do with whether freedman knows what he's doing, whether hes spent well, badly, just look at the turnover figures of some of our rivals in this league

 

and remember, turnover is what ultimately decides what we are allowed to spend

 

some of them are distorted by parachute money

The manager I want is not available until this season is over.

 

DF will have to do for the next 24 weeks, and unless we are then under threat of relegation for the whole of his contract.

[DazBob]

Which manager do you want Malcster?

[Garrp]

just checked

 

unless he's signed another contract that we don't know about his contract is up this summer.

I expect he will not get another one.

 

Which manager do you want Malcster?

 

Not saying, but I have a definite view, and if he is a man of his word he will not leave his current club before the end of the season.

Is this person a realistic possibility Malc?

[Cheese]

"Not saying"? Why proclaim you have a "definite view" then for fucks sake? The only reason you won't say is because you know you'll get the piss ripped out of you.

[gonzo]

Is it Stan Anderson?

[tomski]

Allardyce was all about the science.

 

Don't be fooled by the the gruff fat walrus like exterior and the general impression he gives of being as thick as fuck.

 

The guy knows his shit.

He doesn't but he employed people that do. Good management at its best

I'm not bothered about me, but I don't want him slagged off.

[DazBob]

Such bad manners and a lack of respect didn't even deserve a reply, Malc.  Fair play to you though.

[Garrp]

You can tell me via PM f you like Malc.

And this is someone you want managing Bolton? Hahaha!

[Gumbo]

Without watching his pre match interview in full ahead of tomorrows game, i was alarmed to hear of DF talking about Wolves having to go down to 'clear the decks'.

As though we 'might' (speculation) have to do the same.
